Examining Ireland's transformation into a tech hub, this account highlights the profound societal changes following the arrival of major tech companies. As Dublin evolved from poverty to a symbol of Silicon Valley's influence, the author reflects on the personal and communal costs of this shift, including the impact on local communities and the emotional toll on content moderators. Blending humor with insight, the narrative explores the balance between digital life and reality, ultimately questioning the sacrifices made for a life intertwined with technology in Ireland's new era.
